2 Corinthians Chapter 4 Discussion Page 5

There is always what to do to be glorified.

2Cor 4 9 reminds me of the hope we have in Christ that even though we are cruelly attacked but we are not without hope.

We do not have to endure in our own strength. Jehovah God, whose resources are inexhaustible, can impart power even beyond what is normal to give is the strength and help we need.

Blinded the MINDS,not the eyes. Can see the scripture although not able to understand. Eight people survived the flood, Noah wIFE and his three sons and their wives.Jehovah gods JUDGEMENT, also includes Sodom and Gomorrah. perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,

We should not be mindful of the wordly thing but be mindful of heavenly things because all the wordly things will perish

the word of God is powerful,..........amen

We as people are made from clay in his image so here on earth we are his vases but when we live our lives as Christ did . Obeying the word of God . Only then we represent him

THE LORD IS WITH US EVEN IN THE MIST OF TERREBLE TROUBLE.

When problems arise it is alwasy best to turn to God. We can always have the assurance that Jehovah God will come to our rescue. His word assures us "Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down" ps. 145:12.

The treasure God has given us is not alone to preach the gospel but to also show an examplary life by the way we live our life, the way we dress, the way we talk,the way we give all these has done the preaching

The treasure God has given us is not alone to preach the gospel but to also show an examplary life by the way we live our life, the way we dress, the way we talk,the way we give all these has done the preaching

The gospel must be preached to all creatures so they can be found and not lost.

He who are in Christ Jesus are guaranteed to suffer persecution but will not be destroyed because of Christ mercy, love and strength that he gives
will us to overcome. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.

Verse 17-We tend to feel that what we are going through is too heavy to bear, but this scripture reminds us that our affliction is light(although it may feel heavy) and only last for a moment. The moment can be 1 day, 1 month, 1 year or 10 years depending on God's time frame for the situation, but it will not last forever. Also, our affliction works for us(not against us). Remember that all things WORK together for the good of them that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. This is so that God gets the glory out of your affliction. God is awesome because he allows our afflictions to be slaves to us(work). In the end, it will all work out for our good!!

We will be presented together not at each individuals death as is taught by most. at the resurrection as in John 5:28-29

Lets us give God glory he worth our praise

i don't want to remain hidden i want to live for god

2 corithians 4:9 is a verse that reminds us that nomatter what trials we might go through,God is always there to strengthen us

2 corinthians 4:3, our gospel is hiden to those who are lost, which means if it is not hiden to you then you are found so be personal in salvation, don't look at your friends because you have an individual assignment.

We need to discover the hidden treasures of our personality,potentials,abilities,and power God put in us.

Here Paul refers to the treasure of eternal life and light of God we received when we got saved.the ministry of reconciliation has been given to us and we are able to do it because We have the light of the knowledge of God's glory.its not ourselves but he who called us n gave us this treasure

Its helping us to understand that even through we going through some trails. Its for us to be strong in the Lord.

The same spirit that we carry is working in us only if our spirit man is awake, it must be able to communicate with spirit, it also have to separate the good and the bad.

God spoke the world into existence with the breath of his spirit, and said "it is good" When we ask Jesus into our hearts and try to do as God would have us to do, we share that same spirit, so we also can speak, what God knows is good into existence with the breath of the spirit.

We daily give up the ways of the flesh in every situation, so that Jesus’ righteousness will be seen in us. Thank you Jesus for your wisdom, and Holy Spirit who leads and guides us in life.

On verse 1, Webster says that Mercy is the goodness of God sent to relieve misery. I differ, Webster was a man who coined definitions. Mercy is much greater than that. In the Old Testament when God’s people were outnumbered by enemies that surrounded them, God told them to bring the praisers out. Then God told them what to say. “Praise the Lord, his Mercy endureth forever.” Mercy is deployed to defeat enemies. Mercy becomes one of the most powerful combatant elements of God’s nature. Have you ever thought of Mercy as being combatant?

It means in our bodies we carry treasures with us, wherever we go and therefore need to realize that; and explore how great we were created...

This chapter is very inspiring. A few verses stood out like verses 8 and 9.On this past Sunday our family car was reposed. This my husband feel really bad and down but when he went to church, the pastor spoke on those two scriptures and my husband had peace in the mist of our storm. It was an on time word. As I read the word this morning verses 17 and 18 stuck out it was basically saying the things that we go through on earth are nothing compared to the joy and the peace we will have when we get to heaven. And verse 18 is saying we are looking at everything that is going on around us but we need to focus on the bigger picture, the things we know God has promised us if we hold on. God bless.

2 Corinthians 4:9 reminds us that God will take care of us, no matter what we are going through. God is greater than our problems, situations and circumstances. God Bless.

Such a pertinent verse of Holy Scripture to me as I am currently warring with so many temptations on a daily basis and sometimes convince myself that I am "all alone." Then, by God's grace, my mind is drawn back to the Word of God. I heard 2 Corinthians 4:13-18 on Family Life Radio this morning...Just in time.
